Carbon Copy

Yeah
Broken heart beatin' Nagasaki
Nagasaki, Kawasaki
Pop a wheelie, I tried, died
Carbon copy, sometimes I just feel so silly
A shiitake shrivel in a room, in a corner
Lights turn off, sun goes down
Bingo run home, boy, run boy, run boy
Run run run
Don't come home I'm in your home
But I'm not your home
I'm resting on a heart that I choke
I try to float, but my tears are not salty enough
Body wait, not patient enough
Can't wait for the taste of your love
I love myself, but I change so much
That I wake up alone with a stranger in my bed
"Danger! Danger!" Dora the Explorer in my head
Found a map, but no treasure
He ill with a quill, but no feather
Just dry ink, oh, how clever
Been able to live a life this way
Raise two kids and a wife this way
Knives sharpen knives, but knives don't play
Knives don't play
Knives don't play

Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body, change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall
Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body, change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall

The day the music died, the thrill is gone
I wrote this song, I wrote my wrongs
I sang my rights, I know my rights
I know they're wrong
I know they're wrong
I know they're wrong
Glass ceiling in the building
I'm afraid of heights, terrible Tuesday
Lupe Fiasco for me
Adore me from afar
Ultimately ignore me
Comfort me that bores me
It's the cold at night, but I need a comforter that warms me
Until the sun is up, the wolf is gone, the wolf has left
He's in my chest below my nipple
I can hear him screaming
I can hear him screaming
I can hear him screaming
I can hear him screaming
I can hear him screaming

Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall
Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall

Damn you fragile
Damn you fragile
Damn you fragile
I know you are
I know you are
I know you are
Damn you fragile
Damn you fragile

I'm not used to the same place
With the same things
With the same people
With the same names
That went to the same college
With the same brains
With the same fake smiles
And the same chains
Therapist says
Calm down
Take it easy
Color your hair
Paint your face
Get in line
Stay in place
Stay in place
Raise your kids
Become monogamous
Become automaton
Not autonomous
Pay your college loans
And take out some more credit card debt
Go buy a car and when it's hard, say
"Oh, my lord! Oh, my lord! Oh, my lord! Oh, my lord!"
So you say, "Oh, my lord!"
When the times are good, say
"Thank you, Lord
"I'm on board, on a ship, give me an oar
Imma swim, Imma do whatever takes."
Cuz you damn well didn't do it on your own
You are the micro and the microphone
Now work your job
Go straight home
Work your job
And go straight home
Pick up your mail in the lobby
Automated, carbon copy
Carbon copy
Carbon copy
Carbon copy

Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body, change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall
Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body, change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall
Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body, change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall
Carbon copy, carbon copy
Change your body, change your mind
Change yourself, change your time
Breakin' a wall, breakin' a wall
